What is radical Thinking?

Let's just pretend for a moment that we live in a world of chaos.
Everything happens by chance; there is no original intelligence
in the universe, no designer, no mind. Well I can sort of relate
to that because as I think of starting a blog I feel as though I am
without intelligence, without a brain, and am totally overwhelmed
with the prospect of starting a blog, because after all
what am I going to say?

Well how about, if we just start out with original stuff, radical,
in other words primitive. Radical, what does it mean? Radical
means relating to the root or proceeding from the root of
something; original, fundamental, reaching to the center or
ultimate source; affecting the vital principle or principles,
according to Webster.

Okay, so if we are going to have radical thinking we have to
go to the origin of all things and the original or fundamental
sources of knowledge. In this blog we want to examine our
thinking and the thinking of others in the light of the original,
fundamental starting point of all things, or the universe. So,
how do you get there? What or who is the origin of all things?

If we want to be really radical we can look at the stars, the sun,
moon, the trees, land and everything we see around us, and we
can see that it is all very amazing and regular. Did all this happen
by random processes in a chaotic universe? Things do not happen
in a random fashion. The sun rises in the East every morning,
never the West. Summer comes after Spring, and Autumn before
Winter etc. DNA gives precise instructions as to how living
beings are formed.

Now understand, I don't necessarily agree with all that
Douglas W. Phillips is saying; but earlier today I, randomly
it seemed, just happened to pickup a DVD by Douglas W. Phillips,
founder of Witherspoon School of Law & Public Policy. He went
to George Mason University School of Law and studied under
Judge Bork, Judge Ginsberg, and other Supreme Court nominee rejects.

He says that in his very first class at law school the professor told
the class that law has nothing to do with truth or defending peoples
rights. It's just a way to make money, a means of being an arbiter
or negotiator, but it has nothing to do with God or truth, and if you
think it does you have no business being here in law school.

Now tell me is this really true that law has nothing to do with truth
or God? Where does law come from? Phillips gives John
Witherspoon as an example of an educator with a different point
of view; he believed that God was the law giver.

Back in the 1970s singer, songwriter Bob Dylan discovered that
there is something in the universe besides time, chance and space.
He expressed it in his albums Saved, Slow Train Coming, and
Gotta Serve Somebody.

Christianity, not as practiced by many but what the Bible actually
teaches in the Light of the New Testament and the life, death and
resurrection of Jesus Christ, is the thesis or basis of truth. Charles
Darwin's teaching or Darwinism and Atheism are the antithesis;
but do they even have a leg to stand on?

We live in a society so drenched with Darwinist propaganda that
many just take it for granted that his writings are true without ever
examining it, or asking any critical questions as to whether it is true
or not. The whole public educational system just takes it for granted
that Darwinism is true and presents it as a fact. No questions are
asked as to whether actual evidence supports the theory of Darwin;
and the public schools only present the Darwinian story excluding
any other view of origins. Ask yourself, is that open minded education?
Does that encourage intellectual development and stimulation?

I'll be back.
